Sorry, my counsellor has advised that I don't talk to you

<laugh> I bet she did too!

Probably my last post on what has been a great thread - there has been much competition, but this exchange really made me chuckle - well done lads, excellent posting! <ok>
 
You can go down the Horlicks / cocoa route; there's mileage in that. If you check out any large supermarket's range you'll be able to sample a different flavour every day for a month. Salted caramel and buttered popcorn are currently selling well. The problem is that after a few days you'll be snuggled up on the sofa of an evening, in a onesie, watching re-runs of The Gilmore Girls on Netflix.

Another thought is to recreate alcoholic drinks as close as you can without actually putting alcohol in them. There's alcohol free beer of course but somehow this seems like cheating. Or what about Virgin cocktails? Although I can see that leading to the sofa / onesie / Netflix box set situation.

I often just drink tonic on its own. I mean, it's not nice but at least you can kid yourself that there's gin in it. Or add an elderflower cordial. Or chew hops. Or something.


Anyway, good luck for the month.

I might try those. I might even start dying my hair and painting my finger nails. FFS.<diva>
 
Ha, yeah I never built in City induced depressions. Just want to do a month, realised I have probably never done that since before I was legal to drink (so getting on for 40 years).
Haven't a clue what I'm suppose to drink, I've never had to think about it!. Although was thinking after recent spirit drinking, beer is almost classed as a soft drink.
Askey - your Zumba class has been slotted back to 6.30pm to give you time to get into your new Lycra jump suit. Good luck fella
 
Go back tomorrow. Horrible feeling, remember that Sunday night feeling before going back to school?? Like that.

You try to convince yourself it'll be alright and you'll soon back into the swing of things, but you can't. It's heartbreaking Chazz. My advice is to turn up, but feign man flu and **** off back home. It'll help ease you in slowly.
